Before You Begin Scanning

Before you start scanning, you should:

1. Know which scan profile to use for the various document types you will scan. If needed, ask your Capture administrator.

2. Know how batches should be named. If needed, ask your Capture administrator.

   See "Assigning Batch Names".

   Typically, the Capture administrator sets up the profile with a batch prefix so that batches are automatically named for you. However, you may be required to enter the batch name for each batch scanned.

3. Have one or more batches of papers ready for scanning.

   Most organizations scan in batches that range from 50 to 500 pages per batch. Your Capture administrator can guide you on the number of pages to include in a batch.

4. Make sure the scanner is turned on.

   For some scanners, you must ensure that the scanner is powered on before turning on the computer.
